In a recent study published by the journal "Cell Biology," scientists describe finding a group of demosponges — the most diverse class in the phylum known as Porifera — in the Arctic Sea.

After a delirious run, this tale of a little Porifera that could, directed by Tina Landau and designed within a blissful inch of its undersea life by David Zinn, squeezes itself all out.

Scientists debate when sponges, animals belonging to the phylum Porifera, first emerged.

Scientists recognize eight major phyla to describe most common animals: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata and Chordata.

Regular sponges — most members of the phylum Porifera — exist in a grey zone somewhere between a colony and an individual.
